Thank you for pointing that mistake out, I just didn't notice it (the phone is set to small font).

The message was sent from the same Android phone I'm using now. Moreover, I'm still not sure how it happened because the KB app I'm using is OpenBoard and its long-press is '‰'.

I'm curious too because OpenBoard only has the one long-press option (as above) unlike GBoard which has two—the first being '‰' and the second the "care of" sign. Trouble is that GBoard is normally disabled [not just deselected] on this phone and I had to re-enable it to check.

I've noticed occasionally that I've had 'strange' characters appear that do not seem to be long-presses when I've been typing in a hurry so there must be some option for selecting them that I'm unaware of.

It's late here now so I'll investigate later and get back to you when or if I find the answer.
